Summer Peaches... going to be ripe in late July/early August!!

[stardust599]

It doesn't snow where I live but it rained a lot for 2 days wich I hate bc my dogs refuse to go outside to do their thing lol and won't "go" inside wich makes me worry something is gonna happen to them for waiting so long

Totally OT but dogs have HUGE stomachs compared to us. In the wild I think they eat every 3 or 5 days or so rather than everyday. So I would think that means they can wait to "go" too? Lol. Lovely.


I am struggling with stress and PG hormones The travelling and days at work are too much for me and I feel like I'm struggling to cope, can feel my mood slipping (I had quite awful PND with LO). I keep snapping at LO when she's being difficult and exploding at OH. Going to start mat leave early at 32weeks ish on the 1st June. Just wonder how I'll cope until then! If it gets much worse I think I'll try and get signed off.

I'm fine a lot of the time but keep having days when I'm really angry. Me and OH have had lots of arguments. He works in Slough and goes up there everyday and was snowed off yesterday so took him with us food shopping etc... I just wanted to kill him! Constantly stopping asking about why dont we buy this this and that.. BECAUSE WE DON'T F****ING NEED IT!!!! And I would turn round to put stuff in the trolley and he's walked off somewhere else, was like having a 5 year old with me! But other than that he's been brilliant and back to work today

I'm the same. I find myself in tears almost everyday because of work stress or an argument with OH. The stress is causing such awful tension headaches and painkillers aren't helping, they just spread all over my head to my forehead and then it hurts to look at a computer which I have to do for work so I just end up getting more stressed.

I don't cope with pregnancy hormones well. Last time I was a complete bitch now I'm just really miserable and teary. I don't have any energy because it all gets spent up being stressed out. I feel like calling in sick every day because I just don't know if I'm going to handle another day. The difference with me though is I'm doing an apprenticeship and I would rather get it out of the way before maternity leave so it's over and done with and then I don't have to leave it for 9 months or whatever and come back to it. So I can't get signed off and will probably only finish when I'm around 30 weeks.

i had pretty nasty depression during prgnancy with abby due to SPD and work I think i'm much better right now.

 

[stardust599]

I feel a bit better now! I have the MW at half 12 (just trying to keep LO awake so I can bring her home for a long nap) so get to hear bubs HB :cloudnine:

Then I'm coming home and hopefully LO will have a good 2 hours nap while I do half an hour tidying then an hour to watch True Blood an a 30minute snooze. Awesome. Back to work tomorrow though

I like my work, the job's not too bad. It's stimulating without being overly hard work, I have nice colleagues, I get decent breaks. It's just the whole travelling - we're all ready and out the door by 7.10am, dropping LO off at Mums then travel back to work etc. then when I finish I have to go and pick her up, not home til 10 past 6 at night and then I have to get LO organised, have tea, tidy up, organise work clothes for the next day etc. I'm just exhausted with it!

Only Feb, March, Apr and May to go - seems like a lifetime!

ETA - I'm trying to organise a spa break - 1 day and night with lunch, dinner, 2 spa treatments and breakfast for 109 but I can't find anyone to come with me. Any volunteers

 

[stardust599]

MW appnt wasn't great.

I was in/out within 5 mins. My LO was grumpy and crying so I didn't get to ask any questions. She had a quick listen for the HB but I have a high anterior placenta again and it was completely in the way but she did hear it for a few seconds and some movements. Left me feeling worried though.

Also noticed when I got home some of my bloods have come back with markers and I had heavy mixed growth in my urine sample but none of it was mentioned! She said I don't have to see her again until 24 weeks :-S I have my scan at the hospital at 20weeks so can ask the MWs then xx

 

[misse04]

I would love to come but bubba and lack of money won't allow it
Sorry app didn't go well, hopefully will go better at 20week scan x

 

[misse04]

Just thought i'd let you all know I'm having a breakdown
Connie has temperature, wont drink her bottle and has been screaming for hours... think its her teeth so if you dont hear from me soon and hear about 'the young mum who jumped out of her bedroom window'... that will be me lol x

 

[molly85]

water and calpol both sorts

 

[kmbabycrazy]

Got my appointment with the consultant today, really hoping he will put me back on midwife led...stupid asthma attack happening just after I got pregnant GRRR!

 

[kittylady]

Spa day sounds lovely stardust

I'm knackered and I'm not even working full hours anymore, just started my degree again distence learning and I need to do as much as possible before baby is here but I'm so tired my motivation is lacking atm. I think I'm going to have a cup of tea and a banana in a minute and watch some telly.

 

[Koolmami]

to be honest when it snowed last year it drove me mad and was a nightmare driving so not to sad

Also not such a nice question but do you go to the doctors for piles? Think I've got them woohoo lol x

Hiya! I never had piles (that I am aware of) so not sure what to look for if you know what I mean.

I've read that it's common as pregnancy makes us constipated... Go to your GP, maybe there is something they can prescribe like a cream or something?

Hope you feel better soon. x

 

[Koolmami]

Spa break sounds amazing, stardust but I am still bleeding so it's a no, no for me unfortunately. I really would like to do some swimming too but I can't either. I'm sure you will find a volunteer, don't worry. x

 

[kmbabycrazy]

Spa break does sound good, wish I had the money. Work is doing in my head in would really rather be anywhere else than here lol. Had my 16 week appointment with consultant yesterday. She didn't put me back on midwife led care but said if all is good at 36 week check then I can still give birth on midwife led unit which is a yay as those delivery rooms are so much nicer than consultant led ones in this hospital. I have to do a stupid glucose tolerancy test though. Who thought that test was a good idea lets starve a woman who's 25 weeks pregnant for over 12 Not fair...stoopid sister having type 2 diabetes.

 

[molly85]

i'm having it to kmb at 28 weeks well 27 as im not driving starved again

 

[irmastar]

Stardust hopefully your appointment for your scan goes better. I had my 16 week app today and it didn't go very well either my mw was in vegas :slap: so a nurse saw me and she was kind of rude to me plus she was hurrying everything up, I told her my mw knew I was going in today to talk about my headaches that if they hadn't improve she was gonna prescribe me something and she was like, that is not a big concern just take EXCEDRIN. Oh I don't think so, I complained about her and got my prescription wich I'm happy for

 

[Mosnippy]

hello ladies and bumps!

been a bit quiet lately.

aww sorry to hear so many people had crappy appointments I am fed up with docters, consultants, nurses and midwives! thank god I dont have to see any now till 8th March

I have to have diabetes test week 20 and 26, but dont have to starve i have to eat then have test exactly 2 hours after eating...

i have to go to docter, as much as i dont want to..its best i do... have this pain in my back well small of back down to right buttock..like a pinched nerve only really at night when i am relaxed..its a pain really haha..

had a stressful week, been trying to budget and ensure i will be covered during maternity leave, as I am the breadwinner. and share pay out that matured this week which is £1000 nearly wasnt mine..which stressed me out , thanks to me having to go bankrupt years ago due to my ex husband.they where going to claim it! i was not happy but they released it! and also they think they doing me a favour by dropping my income payments orders from 288 to 205 a month..i was like what??? how do you want me to pay that when on maternity leave! on top of that my OH is wound tighter then a rubber ball thanks to work and problems with is son, i am sure he is going to crack any minute, and he is about to walk out of his job!

arghhhhhhhh stresss...

sorry that was a bit long!

well its friday atleast!!! hope you all have a good weekend!

 

[kittylady]

Wow mosnippy I hope things get better for you

I'm off to work now and then I think I'll see mum later if I actually get out on time

Listened to lo's heartbeat on doppler last night, cant wait for kicks to start up properly. I have the occasional flutter but nothing much atm. It still doesn't feel real, I cant imagine myself with a baby in 6 months .

Hope your all well anyway

 

[Mosnippy]

aw kitty me too..i still dont beleive i am pregnant either... i listened to mine last night to!! its a great sound..if i think how much time is left i panic thinking how am i going tobe ready by then!! lol

i have 4 weeks till next scan! 3 weeks till half way! scarryyyyyy

 

[kmbabycrazy]

SO excited. I've been feeling a few flutterings here and there for a couple of weeks (since the night before my first scan) and last night I was listening to music on my phone and rested it on my belly and I felt my first proper kick. Glad it's getting harder as OH is gutted that he can't feel them yet. At least now I know it shouldn't be long.

3 weeks exactly until half way and next scan...so excited to find out whether my instincts are right again or whether there'll be another little dude in the family. Booking the week after the scan off work so I can do some serious shopping lol...and have a rest from work. lol
